Core Descent is a puzzle-platformer set in a vivid world filled with puzzles to solve, items to collect, and secrets to find.
I set out to make a puzzle game but I kept adding more and more stuff I like until this popped out.
I'm not really a story or lore kinda guy, so there's none of that here. You're just a little round guy exploring a colourful world, solving 81 logic puzzles across 9 interconnected zones, collecting stuff, and unlocking new abilities as you go.
It's puzzle-first, but there's plenty to do between puzzles too. Navigate the entire world seamlessly with no loading screens - lots to explore and a few secrets to find if you're the curious type.

I hope you do, but if not, thanks for checking it out anyway!
